Roses, aphids and bugs

Good evening good people.

So for the last 2 months or so we started keeping roses. Because I am in a complex, all are in large pots.

Lots of care and the flowers are blooming one after another. While giving them a Good soaking I saw what I now know to be aphids. Remove as many as I could. Blasted the rest of them with water.

Lots of ants bellow the pots so blasted them as well. Ladies and gentlemen please help as I don't know what to do.

One of my mates recommended some insect aside spray but, I am not sure. Any advice please?

 

Any one??

 

Going off to the garden shop lets see what they say.

 

Sorry you've been ignored dash.

The ants should have been relatively easy to deal with unless they are in the pots? With the aphids you could spray with some washing up liquid diluted in water or you could buy something like Roseclear that will deal with those and diseases like black spot.

 

Thank you so much. Thaught you guys forgot about me lol. Yes the ants were easy to take care off.

 

Unfortunately a post gets overlooked sometimes in the specialist forums if there's no member available to deal with a question, sorry.
